I'm currently 40 years old and have spent most of my adult life fighting sleeplessness. I have a history of chronic lateness to work and, until recently, my friends knew better than to call me before noontime on the weekends because they knew I'd always be in bed sleeping. In fact, if I was awake before 2pm on the weekend, it was a miracle.

The problem with spending most of your weekends in bed trying to catch up with your sleep deficit is that it throws your sleep and your schedule even more out of whack and makes insomnia and the fact that you are out of sync with everyone around you dramatically worse.

I've spent most of my life simply putting up with this -- tired most of the time, late for work, uninterested in exercise or any strenous activites because I was too tired and didn't have the energy. My eyes alternated between feeling dry and scratchy or teary and wet. If I wasn't using eyedrops, I was using a tissue. And please don't mention the dark circles and puffiness!

I tried taking sleeping pills, but they always made me feel worse. I would sleep through the night, but upon waking it would take hours to feel like a normal human being again and the sleep just didn't feel that restful. Putting up with the insomnia was easier than trying to cope with the pills. So that's what I did.

Until I decided to give some of the new brainwave stuff a try.

Insomnia has all sorts of causes and yours may be different from mine, but I'm pretty certain my own experience is quite common. You can't get to sleep at night because your mind is racing. Most of the time I'd find myself lying awake in bed because I couldn't get my brain to just slow itself down - I'd be awake thinking about the events of the day, or what I was going to do tomorrow or all of a sudden I'd get great brainstorms about new ideas and projects to do -- most of which I'd never get around to doing because I was too tired.

One thing that helped was doing some meditation, especially guided meditation designed to help me fall asleep. But it didn't help enough or every night, and I still found myself waking up frequently during the night and then unable to get back to sleep.

Since Guided Meditation did help, at least initially, I figured it was time to investigate this new-fangled thing called "brainwave entrainment". Basically it is audio with a special beat, a pulse, that helps re-sync your brain. It is very effective at helping you get to sleep because as your brain syncs with the pulse, it slows down all the racing thoughts inside your head, allowing you to relax and finally get a good night's sleep.

If you've also investigated some "sleep technology" on your own, you may already be familiar with the type of beats known as binaural beats. That's the most common kind of brainwave training available.

I've used binaural beats audio myself, and just like the guided meditation, it did help me fall asleep. In fact, it worked much better than guided meditation on its own. The problem, however, is that binaural beats only work when you are wearing headphones. That's fine for falling asleep and it's usually okay just to remove the headphones as you feel yourself starting to drift off, but it doesn't help at all with staying asleep. I just can't wear headphones all night. So even with binaural beats, I still found myself waking frequently in the middle of the night and then not being able to get back to sleep.

Enter the SleepTrack program.

The SleepTrack program is also based on brainwave entrainment, but it doesn't use binaural beats. Instead it uses a type of beat called "isochronic tones".

Binaural beats use a different tone in each ear, but isochronic tones use a rhythmic pulse that turns itself off and on. The brain responds powerfully to the off and on rhythm and so isochronic tones are actually much more effective than the binaural beats that are found in most sleep audio products.

I think the best part may be that you don't have to use headphones with icochronic tones. You should still use them for the "falling asleep" part of the program, but everything else you can just listen to on a regular cd player placed next to your bed.

But SleepTracks is more than just a set of audio CDs and files -- it's a complete sleep training program.

As you well know, most doctors suggest that getting a good night's sleep is a matter of developing good sleeping habits. Now, I've tried all of the suggested sleep habits and I'm sure you have to. They just didn't work for me on their own, but combining a sleep training regimen with a full complement of specially designed audio brainwave training has proved an entirely different matter.

I Can Now Sleep! Through the Whole Night! And I'm not tired all the time. I feel like I have my life back.

You can get your life back too. Just check out the SleepTracks program. If it worked for me, I think it would work for you too.
